Background

About Ryan Varela

Ryan is an entrepreneur, growth marketing strategist, and Medicare business expert who has built and amplified multi-million-dollar companies in the insurance space for nearly 15 years. He is the CEO of two fast-growing companies that are revolutionizing the Medicare industry with fulfillment / downline centers and a powerful lead generation marketing engine that connects people to the right Medicare plan for their needs. His expertise: direct to consumer marketing, relationship selling & partnership alliances, and employee development. A marketing innovator, he creates synergistic business models that turn vision into profitable companies, and develops growth strategies that can bend and pivot in any scenario—while still generating multiple, interrelated and sustainable revenue streams. Ryan’s career story started as an ambitious sales agent working for where he discovered his knack for sales. A visionary with an entrepreneurial spirit, he founded his own health insurance agency at age 25 and quickly grew it to 40 employees, six figures a month in profit, and a million-dollar business after 12 months. Noticing the industry’s declining retention rates of traditional health insurance plans, and that the lifetime values were better in Medicare, Ryan pivoted his insurance business endeavors to that of Medicare, wanting to sell products he believed in and that could provide maximum value to seniors. Today, as CEO of the two companies that he founded, Boost Health Insurance, and Boost Marketing Inc, Ryan is building businesses, and people. Career highlights include each time he was able to launch and turn a seven-figure net profit company in less than a year. For one company, he rapidly scaled from 40 policies to policies a month in just 18 months—and did so only with an in-house team and with minimal investment. Adaptable leadership and a culture of empowerment top the list of his values, enabling Ryan to build high-performance teams that love what they do. While Ryan has designed passion-born companies, he also designs his personal life around other passions. For example, when he isn’t making aggressive business growth moves, he might be making entirely different moves in the form of hip-hop dancing. When he’s not in motion, ask him to impress you with his knowledge as a buffalo wings connoisseur.
